No not at all! ;-)
I'll be a paper about an experiment I did on Panasas labs with 8 osds and
8 clients 1 MDS. I'll be posting the complete scripts I used for setup and tests
So it is much more simple really.
- On X machines you just run ./up to load the osd-target.
You now have X ip addresses/names
- On MDS/client you change your ./do-osd script to look like this (I'm attaching the complete script)
login_iscsi_osd()
{
echo login into: $1 expect $2
if $iscsiadm $ISCSI_DBG -m discovery -t sendtargets -p $1 --login; then
echo $iscsiadm $ISCSI_DBG -m discovery -t sendtargets -p $1 --login returned error ($?)!
sleep 3;
fi
sleep 1;
ls $2
}
And then the do_start changes to:
start_iscsi_intiator
start_open_osd
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD0 $DEV_OSD0
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD1 $DEV_OSD1
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD2 $DEV_OSD2
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD3 $DEV_OSD3
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD4 $DEV_OSD4
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD5 $DEV_OSD5
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD6 $DEV_OSD6
login_iscsi_osd $IP_OSD7 $DEV_OSD7
So basically before hand on client and MDS you login to all osds
- On MDS at one time you do a "format" (see attached script) which mkfs.exofs
of a file systems with all the OSDs included (Yes exofs is multy device that's
the all point. mirrors strips and groups are all supported)
First do a format on MDS. Then do ./do-osd stop. Then do-osd start on MDS and all
clients. Because format changes the osd-names and they must get updated in memory.
- Then you do the export just exactly as before just one /exp/exofs and exportfs -r.
(Again this does not change from before)
- Finally you do the do-pnfs start on clients exactlly the same as before.
There is a single file system. The pnfs/osd protocol takes care of all the
multiple devices and file layouts.
So to sumerize the only thing different from before is that you need to iscsi login
to more then one OSD. And that the mkfs.exofs command has lots of devices.
(Or you can wait for my paper next week)
